The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts that certain UAE citizens may have rain on Sunday, December 22. According to the weather authorities, several northern and coastal locations as well as some areas above the islands should expect rain.

These showers will probably be dispersed, providing transient relief to the places that get them. Although not all areas of the nation will get rain, the statement has highlighted the changing seasonal patterns typical of this time of year.

For most of the people, the day will provide somewhat mild and comfortable conditions with partly cloudy to cloudy sky. The clouds will probably be scattered, occasionally thickening in some places to provide rain-possibilities. The NCM has also observed that the day might get dusty, which would compromise air quality in some areas and vision. Common during the UAE's winter, these conditions are the outcome of the interaction between cooler air systems and current atmospheric moisture levels.

On Sunday, the winds are predicted to be major factor influencing the whole weather experience. Forecasts show that the nation will be covered by light to moderate northwesterly winds. Although usually mild, these breezes are expected to get fresher over the sea and pick velocities between 10 and 25 kilometers per hour. Especially in exposed places, gusts occasionally could reach up to 40 km/h. The breezy winds will clearly chill the air, therefore accentuating the UAE's winter sensation. Coastal residents as well as those who enjoy outdoor activities should get ready for these strong winds to guarantee comfort and safety.

Different sea conditions across the nation's seas will emphasize the need of marine awareness. For individuals engaged in seafaring or recreational boating, the Arabian Gulf is forecast to produce moderate to rough waves that could provide difficulties. Before leaving to sea, mariners are recommended to use caution and keep current on weather bulletins. On the other hand, the Oman Sea is expected to be calmer, with rather safer circumstances for marine operations depending on the wave conditions. Still, the changing character of winds and weather patterns makes care absolutely necessary even in calmer seas.

Sunday's expected weather emphasizes the dynamic and variable character of the UAE's winter environment. While some places may get rain, others will welcome cool, hazy, dusty conditions. The interaction of the winds with maritime surroundings adds still another level of intricacy to the daily weather. To keep updated about any changes in the forecast, especially those involving outdoor activities or travel, residents are recommended to check NCM updates.
